DeleteChildItems Method

Removes multiple items from a parent item.

Syntax

sharefile.deleteChildItems(parentId, itemIds, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

ItemIds is a comma separated list of ItemIds that are going to be deleted permanently. The items must be a child to the specified parent.

• favorites

shareFile.LocalFile = "./test2.txt";
string fileId2 = shareFile.UploadFile("test2.txt", dirId);
